Preparing for hot-weather polygraphs and dehydration (no eda/gsr)

If somebody sweats out more than water they drank that day, you may find no eda/gsr activity on your laptop screen.

So it's time to add some new white sticky GSR/EDA electodes to your polygraph supplies!

If you don't already use them, shame on you. They replace the stainless-steel and velcro heads when the fingertips are giving no GSR/EDA tracing due to dehydration or other interference. Two go on the palm of the hand; they bear a snap connector. If you are a busy examiner, you have had situations of little or no GSR/EDA tracings; using white stickies on the palm likely would have cured that.

If you already have some, it's a safe bet that they are past their 18-month shelf-life. Don't let that they still are sticky fool you-- what goes bad first is that the electrode's wet gel in their centers will evaporate, killing the good electrodermal connection.

Vermed (800-245-4025 x1203, ask for 'Pearl', www.Vermed.com) carries the popular disposable types for polygraph examiners. The 1" X 1 3/4" disposable rectangular electrodes (part #GSR-13) are only available in a 1000-piece $163 case order (that works out to less than 17 cents each).

For examiners who have been blaming GSR/EDA problems on their instrument or its software, using white stickies almost always solves the problem. We have observed sxaminers ramble on to excess about faulty instrument software when in reality it was just a dehydration issue that could have been cured by use of 'white stickies'.

TIP: remind examinees to drink plenty of water (not soda or coffee) in the hour or two prior to the exam, to help assure hydration.

California Private Patrol Operator (PPO) license test help for examiners

California Private Patrol Operator (PPO) license test help for examiners:

As many polygraph examiners are from law-enforcement backgrounds, many also choose to offer security or bodyguard services in addition to their exams. In California, this requires obtaining of a 'PPO Private Patrol Operator' license. License test exam questions on that are wide-ranging, from employee matters (bookkeepng, taxes, insurance, hiring, firing, insurance, etc) to client matters (proposals, contracts, duties, lawsuits, etc). Exhaustive study and preparatory material is available through www.thePIgroup.com, including with a pass-guarantee available. After passing, there is no re-testing needed at the 2-year license renewals.

Often, clients of private patrol operators are often clients of polygraph examiners, so it is a good companion business.

How you can already know that a caller will never actually have a polygraph exam done?

Overall, PEOA members average 50-70% of calls & referrals that actually turn into paid exams.

Some of the other callers are just 'looky-loos', competitors, bluffers trying to scare their girlfriends into confessing, scammers, neurotics, and various other time-wasters.

Some examiners have previously said that they know instantly if a person will be engaging their services or not. So, we polled a group of successful examiners, asking them "How can you already know that a caller will never actually have a polygraph exam done?".

Their answers included:

"If they insist on an e-mail conversation only (no phone), it will not EVER go"

"Requiring you to listen to 30 seconds of rap music before their voice mail message comes on is a sign of no-work-here"

"Calls after midnight virtually never become an exam"

"If the caller asks 'Is there any charge for the polygraph exam?', it has never become an actual exam later"

"Telephone calls from 'blocked', 'unknown', or 'withheld' numbers for whatever reason almost never become an actual polygraph exam"

"When he says he wants to buy his own lie-detection equipment so he can test his girlfriend every week, you're wasting your time talking any further"

"Getting several calls from a person in a short period usually means too emotional now, and he/she will not show up for their appointment"

"When you call them back and get a message of either 'Voice Mail Full' or 'Voice Mail Not Set Up Yet', it's not going to happen"

"If trying to call them back for hours you get non-stop busy signals, you have a lonely talker who will not be paying for an exam"

"When you hear the caller being told word-for-word what to say to you by someone in the background, its just another control-freak trying to use polygraph as a free scare"

"When they want to discuss their entire relationship problems by phone, it is usually someone who needs a friend and wont be hiring you"

"When he says 'I want the graphs-- I will decide if she passed or not', say good-bye to the control-freak who is cheating on her"

"If they say 'Cost is no concern', don't count on it"

"(If they contact you by e-mail) The longer their e-mail, the lower the chance they will be hiring an examiner"

"When the caller insists that he be present during the test because he doesn't trust his girlfriend alone with an examiner, we have a control-freak that often is putting her through her 2nd or 3rd exam because he's not happy with hearing NDI"

"They will not be showing up if they want to schedule many weeks into the future"

"Should the caller insist that an examiner be either a woman or a very old man, good luck"

"If they say that they will keep their appointment with you depending on if their tax return or some other money arrives, it will be a no-show"

"A woman crying as she tells that she needs to have herself tested because her guy thinks she is cheating, with a baby or two screaming in the background during the call, will not turn into an exam"

Obviously not 100% for certain, but it was agreed that the above is solidly accurate.

Many polygraphers in California and New York also take the private investigator license tests

Many polygraphers in California and New York also take the private investigator license tests and then set up related concurrent businesses.

Although not as high per hour income as lie-detection produces, private investigation is a good companion business to polygraph, and it is usually a steady income stream.

But passing the test is quite a chore. California & New York private investigator license examination test study material and sample test questions from www.PIcontinuingeducation.com can fill in the blanks of the information needed to pass.

Note: many people looking for lie-detection help first contact a private investigator, assuming that is who offers polygraph to the public!
